Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
This is the third order I have placed and once again great product very easy to fit, quick delivery.... really pleased thank you! By chris woods on Aug 30, 2015 Helpful? 1 | 4
Question:
I purchased about 10 of these (from another supplier) over 10 years ago. I cannot be 100% certain they are exactly the same but the picture and all the fedback descriptions lead me to believe they are. the same. We have been in S. France for 8 years. In summer we get up to 40c and in winter it can get down to -18c. In those 8 years I have gone through countless sets of cheap LED path lights bt these deck lights look as good as the day I bought them. In some the batteries have been replaced but in a couple they are still on the original ones (though I guess this is more luck than anything). I haven't 'looked after' them. A couple are rolling around in the borders because I didn't have anywhere to fit them in the decking. After 8 years of extreme outdoor use the worst that can be said is that some of the paint on the aluminium housing (that you don't see) is peeling. These are by far and away the best little solar lights I have ever purchased so if you're in two minds don't be. Thay're excellent. ( and no, I have nothing to do with this company and they aren't paying me to say that!). By Tom Savage on Dec 14, 2014 Helpful? 3 | 3
Question:
We have a large decking area that gets plenty of sun during the summer and solar deck lights add a nice touch. This product is marked as being suitable for all year round use but it does state that shady positions should be avoided to maximise performance. After the initial charge for 3 days, you dismantle the unit by removing a few screws to gain access to activate the light with the on / off push switch underneath. The light given out by the single LED is surprisingly bright and is diffused gently by the opaque area of glass that covers it. The unit feels very sturdy and well made and appears that it should last a long time. The top glass cover is held on with 3 screws and there is a water-tight rubberized seal that ensures the rain does not get in. The heavy metal base unit is held to the deck by its own screws so that it will not all come loose when you remove the glass cover for maintenance, etc. The brushed stainless steel finish looks very attractive. I have tried several other solar products with mixed results and it's too early to say how long the batteries will last. However, first impressions are very good and I would definitely recommend.

Perfect for my need lighting some obelisks in the lawn creates a nice eerie effect just the right brilliance By Bob on Aug 29, 2015 Helpful? 1 | 1
Question:
Received this the next day after despatch and immediately thought it was very substancial. The front face is made of what seems to be nice strong glass, surrounded by a nice brushed stainless steel bezel, held on by three screws. The body is made of nice weighty cast metal and is painted to match the bezel. The body also has three holes for mounting into the decking. First impressions were that this should be a nice substancial item, and so far it seems to be living up to this. The light is built into a plastic main unit that lives inside the metal enclosure with a rubber collar which seals between the bezel and the metal case. The solar panel and light live under a nice thick glass panel inside the plastic case, which also contains the on-off switch. To activate this you will need to remove the unit from the case and press the button on the bottom. The instructions say to leave the light in the sun for a couple of days to charge up before activating, so I think I left it for three days and then switched it on, at which point it worked perfectly, switching on as soon as the light fades. At this point it should be noted that our garden only gets direct sunlight for only half of the day, and at this time of the year (end of February) that's only about 4 hours. So far the light seems to be lasting well into the night (that's well past midnight, as far as I've seen), and even though it's not going to light up the world it does produce plenty of light or what it does. To be honest for a decking light this does exactly what it says it will, is VERY well made, and charges itself from a minimum amount of light. I've had solar powered security lights in the past and this seems to charge up much quicker with less sunlight. And the best thing is that the 4 enclosed batteries can be changed out for new ones if they egin to lose their charge. All in all a great decking light that wil work thoughout almsot all of the year.

I purchased 9 of these decking lights and they arrived promptly. After following the instructions and leaving them off for 3 days after installation, I switched them on, and they have stayed on ever since with no problems and they stay lit from dusk to dawn. It has only been a couple of weeks, so I will update after the winter has passed By Antony on Apr 29, 2015 Helpful? 0 | 0
